A fan responded saying she is a fan of both The Kooks and One Direction, to which Pritchard replied: "Do not like what I do. I'd rather anyone who likes One Direction never follow me. You literally have no idea who upset I am."

Asked what he doesn't like about 1D, Pritchard explained: "Everything. How can you be a fan of something that has no life? I honestly feel so depressed that you are into Kooks."

However he later revealed that he was drunk, adding: "Hahah I'm so drunk. F**k it. I'm looking at what is there, seriously!! Is that what we have? Please buy real music... Rant in emin over."

Pritchard later deleted his tweets after receiving criticism from One Direction's fans.
